Happy New Year Giveaway!


It's time to welcome in the new year... with a giveaway!   It's been a great year book wise: we've had the first in the new Bloodline series, Alyxandra Harvey's new Haunting Violet.  We've had a second book from one of my favourite authors: Jenny Downham.  We've seen the last installment of Harry Potter, and welcomed the new Pottermore website.  Yes, it's been a great year for books...  But I think 2012 will be even better!  To celebrate these old and the new books, I'm having a giveaway that has something from both.  Therefore I'm giving away:

1x Haunting Violet cloth bag
1x Haunting Violet lipbalm
1x 2012 Bloomsbury Book (Fracture)

This is an international giveaway, so no one will be left out!  It ends January 14th.

Oh, and before you all enter, two more things. 
One: What has your Top 2011 Book been?  And which book are you most looking forward to in 2012?  (This doesn't affect who wins: I really want to know 'cause I'm always on the lookout for more books to read!)
Two: I'd like to thank everyone who has followed, visited, commented or guest-posted on The Book Addicted Girl in 2011!  All of you have really made this year special for me!  And I'm hoping that in 2012, we will have more guest-posts, more giveaways and more books!  
Here's to a Happy New Year!

Now, back to buisness: here's the entry form.  I'm using this new Rafflecopter... thingy-ma-bob.  It's fun!  It means you can get loads of extra entries,  and it looks cool! ;)

Such a hard question. I've been asked this a lot and I say the same thing. I got it down to 5 for a blog post and can't do better than that. So I just keep blindly picking one of the 5. It's CARRIER OF THE MARK's turn to get picked. =) Loved this book.

As for something coming in 2012, PURE from Jennifer L Armentrout.

My fav books from 2011 would have to be Blood red Road by Moira Young and Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton, this year I'm really looking forward to The Immortal Rules by julie Kagawa because the iron fey were fantastic! and Born Wicked by jessica Spotswood, it has the most beautiful cover. I hope that helped. thanks for the giveaway!!

I can't pick just one from 2011, Beauty Queens, A Monster Calls, Dear Bully.

And there's tons for 2012, but I recently read an ARC of See You at Harry's by Jo Knowles and I CANNOT WAIT for it to be released so everyone else can know the awesomeness that is this novel. Coming in May!

I don't really know the answer to this actually! I've read so many amazing books in 2012 but one of my alltime favourite would be Anna & the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.
2012 release I'm looking forward to is A LOT. But maybe a debut I'm looking forward to would be Of Poseidon. Thank you for the giveaway!
